If Rakell is seriously asking for 4 million....trade him.
Why? For six years, that wouldn't be unfair. $4M is about the going rate for 20 goals, if that, and one would expect him to continue to develop. And regardless, no matter what he asks, it's no reason to trade him. It's not like he has realistic other options unless an offer sheet rolls along, which there are no signs of.
Rakell scored many of his goals with Getzlaf and Perry from what I remember.
So? That's an improvement on many who couldn't.
Meh, Perron did, Penner did, Maroon even did for a bit.
This is no slight to Rakell he's one of my favorite young players, just don't think he deserves a 4 million dollar contract this off season. Rather bridge.
I'd rather he signed for four million now than for six million in two years. Silf and Fowler signed the same deal, and they look like they are below market value.
Leaving SoCal for Siberia? I'll believe it when I see it.
